Philosophy On The Run

As part of The School Of Life Physical Education series of events exploring how body and mind influence each other, James Steventon will be spending a day with US-based philosopher Mark Rowlands, exploring the relationship between running and thinking.

I’ve heard the relationship between curator and artist described like that between a cat and a mouse, cats preferring the chase to the capture. The suggestion is curators like to discover artists rather than have artists approach them. That is interesting for me an artist.

For #r3fest 2018 – In Exile, James delivers messages electronically in the form of a running related quote displayed randomly from a collection of contributed quotes when visiting: www.jamessteventon.com/in-exile/the-only-running-footman.

"It’s like watching a chrysalis become a butterfly: The prototypes are impressive, but the kouros is timeless; he might be about to breathe, move, speak ... Even in relatively static positions, the implication of movement is the transfiguring achievement of these classical figures."
